Born and raised throughout the San Diego area, Eryn has always been dedicated to helping the LGBTQ+ community inside and outside professional settings even from a young age. As a queer neurodivergent person, they understand just how important it is for folks to have a supportive circle of professionals and friends. This spark they had of wishing to dedicate themself to helping other queer people only grew more and more when they interned at Positive Images, a LGBTQ+ resource center in Santa Rosa, where they were able to do just that.
Along with their internship, they also have a comprehensive background in academia with both an Associate of Arts in Psychology from Palomar College and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in English from Sonoma State University. While at Sonoma State University specifically, they made several academic achievements: from being inducted into the International Honor Society in Psychology to being on the Dean’s List several times in a row. When not planning events and getting the Transgender Health and Wellness Center involved in the San Diego community, they can be found sewing anything from costumes to bags, reading whatever books they can get their hands on (though they have a particular interest in old epics), writing about the many fantasy worlds they have conjured up, or hanging out with their kitty Juna (whom they love more than anything else).
